An updated version from our previously-released course on working with adolescents and utilizing and FBT-Informed approach to eating disorder treatment. Instructed by a seasoned therapist and dietitian team, this course will provide dietitians with a complete and comprehensive understanding of what Family Based Treatment (FBT) is and how RDNs can utilize FBT in their work with treating adolescents with eating disorders. The course places attention on updates to the research, addressing the needs of various special populations, and an intentional weight-inclusive approach to care. Featuring three guest experts, Dr. Rebecka Peebles, Renee Reinecke, Ph.D., and Katie Maki, RN. You will come away from this course ready and confident to support adolescents and families who need your help.
“As a parent, I can relate to parents’ terror in dealing with these devastating illnesses. Empowering families to help their children recover at home, rather than sending them away to be “fixed” by someone else, is my work’s greatest reward.”
